RANGERS manager Steven Gerrard is pleased with the club’s midfield and singled out Joe Aribo for praise, after he scored again in a 2-0 friendly win over Coventry City on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Nigerian netted the opening goal at Ibrox in the 50th minute before Conor Goldman doubled the lead 17 minutes later.
It was the second game in a row Aribo had scored in after netting in their 4-0 win over Motherwell last time out.
It marks a 100% end to Rangers’ pre-season games, keeping clean sheets in all of them. The Scottish Premiership is set to commence for the 2020-21 season on August 1
“The midfield we are okay, we’re looking strong. Joe Aribo’s jumped out of the pack and being really strong in his performances and we’re creating and scoring goals in the final third,” Gerrard told Rangers TV after the match.
Rangers recently signed Nigeria defender Leon Balogun from Wigan Athletic on a one-year deal with the option of extending it for another year.
